Excel macro does not display cells with multiple lines of text correctly

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Excel macro is not respecting additional lines of text from within a cell. For example, if you have a list of things in 1 cell with each list item starting on a new line, but within the same cell, confluence is rendering the cell without respecting that new line. I have tested this locally on 4.2.8 with 2.0.14 office connector plugin. Tested against .xls/.xslx. A simple file with 4 cells did display correctly, however, a more complex document shows the text in the cell as described.

      Support case reference for sample files which you can use to observe both behaviors.

            [CONFSERVER-39101] Excel macro does not display cells with multiple lines of text correctly

            I've seen many teams use excel spreadsheets to track all sorts of information.

            Using excel macro in confluence is a great way to share the content except for this bug. The visual distortion of the text within a cell makes this macro borderline not useful.

            It'd be great if you guys could provide a fix for the new line display within a cell.

             

            Thanks,

            Hi All,

            Thanks for taking the time to raise and comment on this issue. Unfortunately this issue hasn't been updated in the last 1 years and rather than leave this on the backlog I have decided to close this as won't fix. I believe that this better reflects the status of this issue.
            If this issue is raised again in the future we'll re-asses this status.

            Regards

            I also got this issue. Any ETA when this might be fixed?

            No.. We just found this issue on Confluence 5.4.2 with office connector version 3.1.4.1. Probably it was not closed yet.

            Hello,

            I had asked for an update on when the issue would be fixed, I don't have any other update than that.

            However, I do not think that anyone has asked about this issue, so it can probably be closed.

            I see this issue with office connector version 3.1.4.1 and Confluence version 5.4.2. also. Its been opened so long and is there any update on this?

            Thanks,
